    Description: The first part of the Eastern philosophy series that examines the dominant philosophical and spiritual thought of the Far East. This program covers Confucianism and Shintoism. Confucius teachings on moral behavior did not stop at the individual but extended to the role of the state and rulers. The strength of his convictions and unswerving pursuit of the truth earned him enemies but also a respect that remains today. Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan and means 'the way of the gods.' With a pantheon of gods at its core, worshippers can make offerings, and pray to the gods of luck, wealth, and happiness among others. Shinto is not only a religion, but a way of life and one that explains the birth of the Japanese archipelago and the seasons

    Description: Part 2 of the Eastern philosophy series turns to south Asian schools of thought. This program covers Hinduism and Buddhism. Hinduism, one of the oldest religions, emerged about fifteen hundred years before Christ. Looks at the fundamental beliefs at the heart of Hinduism, the caste system, and its teachings on lifestyle and human destiny. The roots of Buddhism are in the 5th century A.D. Its journey to the 21st century has been far from smooth, but despite numerous attempts to wipe it out, it flourishes today as a global phenomenon. Buddhism is perhaps more accurately described as a spiritual school and way of life than religion, as it has no deities. Discusses karma and the cycles of death and re-birth, the other teachings of the Buddha
